NEW YORK — The expanded search for human remains at the former World Trade Center site is complete — for now, New York City officials said Tuesday, announcing that the recovery effort would wind down until new areas in and around ground zero are excavated.
Deputy Mayor Edward Skyler said that the city Medical Examiner’s Office on Monday finished sifting the last of nearly 15,000 cubic yards of material excavated since the renewed search for remains began in October 2006. Skyler said that seven people have been identified from remains found in a service road at ground zero and on the roof of a bank building.
